Somebody above claims they aren't.
I've been reading some cases about the subject (specifically one that arose when our embassy was attacked in Iran), it's not at all clear cut. For some purpose it is treated as US souil and we have juridiction, for some purposes we don't.

Peachy. I'm sure that both the Kenyan and Tanzanian govts were entirely happy to have the FBI working with them, and made every effort to aid in the investigation. It's not like the invasion of Iraq, at all. We cooperated with friendly govts to solve crimes and to apprehend the perps.
Clearly, for the purposes of the trial at hand, the US had sufficient jurisdiction to try one of the perps. We may or may not grant extradition requests, if made, from either govt wrt the felon in question.
Fair enough?
